As a nutritionist and feeding specialist, I am often asked about vitamins and supplements for children. I felt that getting Meg from Choose Nutrition to answer a few of these questions was a great idea. This chat was aired in our Parenting Picky Eaters private facebook group at the end of last year. The lighting isn’t amazing and my internet connection was a bit poorly at the time. I am hoping that you still love listening to all of Meg’s fantastic insights.
My take home points from this video are that
- Each child has different needs and you should always seek professional opinion if a nutrient deficiency is suspected.
- Vitamins can relieve your anxiety as a parent but should be viewed as a short term approach to getting feeding habits back on track.
- Always offer a rainbow of foos and lots of variety to children so that they can learn about foods.

If you are stuck in a rut with your toddler, check out this 1hr video on Feeding Toddlers that I also filmed with Meg and includes a handbook and recipe book.
If you want to reduce stress by improving the language tools you are using with your child at mealtimes, check out Positive Food Talk with Kids.
![Miss V: what did you learn today?
Me: I went to a course today. At that course I was learning how to get google to tell people about my food classes.
Miss V: so we can say "ok google, find play with food" and people will see MY video of ME making sushi?
Me: yes... sort of
Miss V: good, because lots of people will like MY video.

😂 Based on this conversation, I have a few conclusions.
1] My 4 year old has no qualms in neatly wrapping up my years of blogging (where I take MY insights from my clinical feeding therapy experience and translate them into bite size morsels for parents) into her OWN accomplishments.
2] She has a darn good memory as we filmed and blogged her making sushi 18 months ago.
3] I really need to work on my google juice given that my recipes for goulash, lemon myrtle cheesecake and sushi outrank "helping problem feeders" and "fussy eater help". 😂 (In my defence, they are good recipes though 😕) So... If you were looking for me on Google what would you type into the search bar? [CRINGE]
Thanks,
Simone
